Police officials who were putting up containers around Zero Point to seal the area were pelted with stones by PTI supporters.
KP CM had earlier stated that:
“We will remain peaceful and not a single glass will be broken in Islamabad,”
See the contradiction.

PTI participants were unhappy regarding K-P CM Parvez Khattak travelling in an air-conditioned SUV and spent the night in an “air-conditioned room” of rhe Khyber Pakhtunkhwa House, leaving them on the road under the open sky.
Sheikh Rasheed stated “PM Nawaz will have to leave the government and the army will have to intervene,”.
Imran Khan’s convoy is guarded by six vehicles of the Elite Force, IG Punjab says.
Around 30 vehicles with people from DI Khan and other southern districts of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa have turned back from Islamabad, owing to a lack of arrangements and absence of leadership.
Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif has instructed his workers to remain calm.
Police say that although there were clashes between the two sides no shots were fired, AFP reports, and n AFP photographer at the scene heard no gunfire.
“Workers of PTI and PML-N clashed in Gujranwala and threw stones at each other,” a police spokesperson tells AFP. “There was no firing incident.”
The AFP photographer says a group of up to 40 youths who were following the convoy and shouting slogans clashed with PTI workers, but police later dispersed them.

ofcourse you can read reports or just watch videos. you can see uneducated masses throwing stones and showing shoes in front of impotent police all in name of democracy. Govt thugs out in full force everywhere.
Re: Revolutionary expediency
Imran Khan has left his container and is now traveling in a bulletproof car. Haha didn't think that the rich elitist could manage for much time in a container although I am sure that it must have been a luxurious container, but perhaps its air conditioning broke down so he had to find some pretext to get into his air conditioned SUV. Independent witnesses have stated that there was no shooting and it was just kids throwing stones at his container.
Government of KP and PTI are supposed to be different. CM of KP comes in a bulletproof SUV accompanied by elite police force and sleeps the night in his air conditioned KP government house in Islamabad, while the poor participants sleep on pavements.
The elite rich and corrupt class is trying to make fools of the people using the slogan of change. I have not noticed any actual change in KP yet in 14 months of PTI ruling it. Its only a question of time before people see the true face of Naya PTI, perhaps that explains why Imran Khan is in a hurry to get power, before people see through him.
Re: Revolutionary expediency
Pmln should change its name to pml gullu. Pomi butt brother of pmln mpa involved in the attack in gujranwala. The body language of pmln that I saw in the previous elections was very frightening, I fear them becoming mqm of Punjab.
Re: Revolutionary expediency
They already are the MQM of Punjab!

Just like they saw the true face of PPP and PML N Leadership , hai na?
Its strange that Sharif's can get away with murder without a batting lid by the supporters , while Khan has to bear the brunt for even the tiniest of action .. why is there so much fear in the sharif supporters ?

Punjab is a paradise, don't you know although pmln has not had a chance to rule the province. Only 30 years of pml versus 14 long months of pti.
Re: Revolutionary expediency
I don't know about Punjab but PML N ruled the country for about 2 years before they were removed, and another 2 years before the removed again by the military, this was in the 1990's. This time they have ruled for 1 year and the military wants to remove them again. I am not a spokesperson for PML N but I side with Pakistan, Pakistan is more important for me than any political party of so called leader. PML N deserves to rule for its full 5 years like PPP was allowed to rule its full term. This is in the national interest and this is what the law states. This is what Supreme Court stated even today. The demands of Qadri and Imran Khan are unconstitutional and they are inviting the military to remove PML N government. This is not about personal likes or dislikes is this about right and wrong. Only a person of a strong character could stand for the right even when he personally may like him.
Re: Revolutionary expediency
Arshad, I am standing for Pakistan too , I am not a big fan of any politician either. But I know that the people who crippled Pakistan for their own business interests cannot be trusted ever again to run the country. Period. There is ample proof out there and in the UK of what they have been upto. Why would you want violent goons to run the country if you truly love Pakistan?
Re: Revolutionary expediency
Punjab govt forms 3-member committee to probe Rana Mashood’s video scandal – The Express Tribune

Lets look at this rationally.
Imran Khan wants to dissolve the government because it rigged polls to get elected, or so he claims.
If there was vote rigging then there is a set procedure to follow under the law of the land.
First of all vote rigging needs to be proven then there is a mechanism available for re-polling. This has to be done on a constituency basis.
Its not fair on PTI if there was vote rigging but it is also not fair on PML N voters if their mandate is not respected.
Just because anyone may not like a party or leader cannot be used as valid reason to remove an elected government. The electorate needs to wait for its term to come to an end before they can send them home through new elections.
Everyone accepts that PML N is the largest party in terms of support in Pakistan, even if they may not have won an absolute majority they would have been the largest party even in the worst case scenario.
Is the PML N more corrupt than PPP? Or any other party? Answer is no.
Is the PML N more inefficient than any other party? Answer is no. and it can be said that it is more competent than many other parties.
Is PML N more thuggish than any other party? No PPP, ANP and MQM have armed militant wings in Karachi. Does anyone member the mob rule of PPP for 2 or 3 days when BB was killed. Cars were pelted with stones, roads were blocked to traffic, trains were burnt, shops were forced to shut. This was across the whole of Pakistan.
What are the reasons for Imran Khan wanting elections if the demand is illegal? It could be that he wants to position his party as the natural government in waiting, or it could be that his financial backers and professional politicians that have joined him want their pound of flesh, or it could be that the establishment is trying to use Imran Khan to get PML N to change their policies. Whatever the reasons, it is morally wrong for Imran Khan to try to take this extreme position.
Instead of looking for angels that will always disappoint us we need to improve our system, with independent media and judiciary and electoral reforms in the pipeline we can moderate the behavior of our politicians. Instead of looking for quick fixes we need to let our politicians make their mistakes and to learn from them. We need continuity of policies, we need to learn from the past as in 1990s we lost a decade due to instability. Pakistan cannot afford such experiments again.
Even if we assume PTI wins an outright majority in any future elections, PML N and PPP may not respect its mandate and what if they bring twice the number of people onto the streets of Islamabad, will Imran Khan then resign?
Re: Revolutionary expediency
Just spoke to someone from Islamabad who is originally from Attotabad. Offices are closed today, she states that this is all a drama to free Musharraf, and everything will be back to normal by Monday. This what the average normal person is thinking.
Re: Revolutionary expediency
We do not want any one apart from Imran Khan as prime minister, says PTI president Makhdom Javed Hashmi. YOU DON'T BELIEVE IN DEMOCRACY, YOU DON'T WANT TO WAIT UNTIL ELECTIONS, YOU WANT TO IMPOSE DICTATORSHIP ON THE SILENT MAJORITY.
Shah Mahmood Qureshi says they will present their demands at 3pm on Saturday. MORE FREE PUBLICITY AND TIME TO SAVE FACE.
Shah Mahmood Qureshi claims 4,000 PTI supporters have been detained by Punjab police. MORE LIES
